Boot camp assistant doesn't recognize the Windows 10 iso file.

Boot camp assistant doesn't recognize the Windows 10 iso file. So what do I do now to install Windows 10 on my iMac (Version 11, Big Sur)?

Can you post the MD5sum? Here is an example (using a different ISO file).


You can do this in Terminal.


  • Start Applications -> Utilities -> macOS Terminal
  • Enter 'openssl md5'
  • Use macOS Finder to find the ISO
  • Drag the file to the Terminal window, and press enter.


openssl md5 Win10_1909_EnglishInternational_x64.iso 

MD5(Win10_1909_EnglishInternational_x64.iso)= d1f08aea37586702f6fbe2fe3ea8c3fd

I found the MD5sum, but I don't have a chance to get to the second line. After I put in the first line with the correct file name and return it, I get the response, "No such file or directory."

Did you drag & drop the Windows .iso file onto the Terminal window so it auto-fills the correct path to the .iso file?

That did the trick! I sure appreciate you hanging with me. I had to download another copy of the Windows 10 file to my Downloads folder, but after that the installation went fine. However, I also had to purchase another copy of Microsoft (Office) 365 for Windows, and now my sound in Windows doesn't work . Indeed, the system tells me I have to purchase Windows 10. Jeeeeeezzz!!
